Abuse of Executive Power Acceptable, Encouraged

CNN pokes fun at the impeachment hearings, calling it a waste of tax payer money!
Yes, calling the administration out on its over 35 impeachable offenses is a waste of time and money seeing as how the checks and balances of our faux-democracy have been eroded by this administration and our tax payer money has been diverted to corporate elite. The mere idea of engaging in dialogue is a laughable offense to cnn, dubbed democrat "stagecraft." Much less the hilarity of holding someone accountable for crimes and abuse of power.
The "news anchor," apparently suffering from ADD, swiftly racks focus from Bush to a "Cute Baby!" in the background. This is one of the worst distortions of news I have seen in a while. See also: actual content in the impeachment hearings

July 28 2008 Beer marathoners run, drink, vomit


This reminds me of running the Boston Marathon. The whole route is lined with friendly comrades cheering and handing you weird things like homemade oatmeal raisin cookies or glucose drenched orange slices. I recall grabbing a dixie cup full of water from some anonymous outstretched hand and slinging it back. I was shocked and then mildly amused to find I had swigged a shot of vodka at mile 18.

July 23 2008 Fish eat feet in new pedicure

House passes mortgage rescue to bail out fannie and freddie mac with $300 billion in tax payer money. When they were making a profit did the surplus go back to the tax payer? Nope- it was wisely spent on campaign contributions and lobbyists! Further privatization of profits, socialization of risk.

McCain visits grocery store - at the end of this video, Too good to be true you can see McCain knock over apple sauce that was edited from the first story.
Fish eat feet in new pedicure -"that's just nasty" says one anchor. "that's foul. . . what is wrong with these people" reports the other. This clip also includes a "stupid criminal" story. Ha ha what fun they have delivering "news".

July 22 2008 Beaches plagued by gelatinous invaders


Cnn headlines the Time Mag Sci-fi inspired article, When Jellyfish Attack, about jellyfish along the coast of France. Chock full of invader references, the piece warns "there's more of that gummy pain on the way"

July 21 2008 Camera sees car knock man across diner


Huge math error in Katrina supply giveaway - a new twist in the katrina supply stockpile mentioned last week- oops $85 million was really more like $18.5 million worth of relief items not distributed to storm victims. Silly counters overvalued the crates of sporks at $36 million. They distributed only $36,000 worth of sporks to the wrong entities.

July 16 2008 Casino panel got items meant for Katrina victims


The cnn special investigations unit repeatedly congratulates its own efforts in reporting the FEMA stockpile of 121 truckloads of household items that were purchased or donated for Katrina victims and stored for 2 years. In June the items were offered to federal agencies and states instead. Again, Cnn performed journalism and sends a self-congratulatory nod its way.

Three stories today highlight inspirational females:

5-time widow loved cash, schemed, family says

Heroic troops repel at least 100 in Afghan fight Nice turnaround journalism. Last weekend US forces bombed a civilian wedding party killing 47, 45 were women and children who were escorting the bride to meet the groom. But Cnn reports on the heroism of killing 100 more afghans this weekend- yes killing, as in humans , not repelling, as in mosquitoes.

July 9 2008 Less tasty inmate meals


This less tasty video explains the savings of serving baloney on white instead of PBJ's, the inmate favorite. Other cutbacks: water instead of tea and juice, frozen egg disks instead of real eggs, saltine crackers instead of cornbread. The sheriff says if they want peanut butter sandwiches, then stay out of jail and have your mother make them for you.
